A biology teacher at my old school was rather aptly called Paddy Ennis.

Paddy Ennis taught me Biology many moons ago

Whooooaaaaa there. This thread aint about people with funny names. Thats been done before (Dick Soft, Richard Head etc etc)


This is about conversations/meetings where you may have called someone by their surname instead of forename, or the wrong name together, or by their nickname and you only found out after the meeting.

That's a pretty narrow thread scope.

When i worked for The Appeals service i had to go to the waiting room and get the people and bring them to the appeal room.

Use to walk in say the name and told them to follow me.

So walks in said "William Wallace?"

Guy stands up and says "i'm William Wallace"

Every one else in the room laughed, I felt like saying ...no your not William Wallace is 8ft tall and shoots bolts of lightening out of his arse....

Or the other time my mate had "Elvis" in for a appeal...When he left he spoke through the tannoy "ladies and gentlemen Elvis has left the building" got a bit of bother for it but it was great laugh.
